title: Effects of size changes on memory for words and pictures.
abstract: The effects of changing the size of stimuli between learning and recognition sessions were examined for word and picture materials. Size changes did not affect correct recognition of items as new or old, for either words or pictures. However, size alteration impaired recognition memory for the size of word stimuli. With pictures, impaired size recognition was noted with changes only from large to small.
